Coon Can Blues by Charlie "Dad" Nelson
Performed by
Charlie “Dad” NelsonCoon Can Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ramblin', gamblin', Lord, that's what I crave
Ramblin', gamblin', Lord, that's what I crave
If I don't quit, they'll carry me to my grave
[Verse 2]
My baby give me some money just to play coon can
My baby give me some money just to play coon can
I didn't win no money, but I sure Lord played my hand
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna tell my mama when I go back home
I'm gonna tell my mama when I go back home
That they win all my money, won't leave my girl alone
[Verse 4]
I was standin' at the station when the train passed on the fly
Standin' at the station when the train passed on the fly
Brakeman said, "Hobo, goodbye"
[Verse 5]
Lord, left here all alone
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, left here all alone
Had to take a hollow log and make it my home
